I'm finally addressing this (once and for all)

[@Zactivist]

Speaking for myself personally, as a consumer of music, not a producer of it- I want to hear things now more than EVER made by real musicians. And if I can help it, not just random musicians whom I have no clue who they are, but knowing who made the song. Or soundtrack, or whatever. I'm completely fed up with robotic sounding music, and soul-less stuff that has no personality to it. AI to me is just the latest iteration of that. I hope I'm not alone in wanting more organic music, made by real artists, and knowing the names and histories of these artists.

[@AdamSliger]

I don’t think you’re alone in this at all. Thanks for writing!

[@carldubcats3385]

Respect. Great perspective. I am going to keep playing music on my guitar. Sitting round a camp fire with a real guitar and real people is a fantastic experience that will not be replaced anytime soon.

[@AdamSliger]

🤘🤘🤘 exactly

[@vinylarchaeologist]

People forget that we are humans _interested in other humans_ - this whole discussion seems to suggest that in the very near future there will only be AI art, but who is going to be interested in that art, other AI?

[@makemusicordie]

Producer planner idea is such a cool thing and really awesome of you to offer it as a free resource to your community. Big cheers to you sir! I’m going to check it out. Also, I fully agree with the sentiments shared in this video. 🙏🏻

[@AdamSliger]

Thanks so much! Hope you find it helpful!

I know it sucks that you felt called to talk about it, but I just wanted to say thank you, because hearing from someone who has a solid job in the industry and keeps a very honest approach to the content you make, it REALLY helps in easing the minds of people like me who are just starting out and have felt immediately defeated. There's a lot going on everywhere, a lot of shady stuff overall across a lot of industries or businesses it seems, and it's just greatly appreciated that you were willing to talk about it anyway and share some helpful insight and opinions 🙏🏻 thank you!

[@AdamSliger]

Glad you found it helpful!!

I can't believe there are people who said that in the comments. I'm a songwriter and producer based in Tokyo, and I've been doing this job for ages. Nay-sayers will always be everywhere, especially on the internet where they feel safe trolling in the comments section. The most worried I've been about AI is the thought of major labels writing AI songs for their artists just to keep the copyrights. It may happen, but not on a massive scale. In that case, they will probably send the song for arrangements to people like you or me. From an adrenaline junkie point of view, that's great. Actually, it boosts my motivation to keep learning new arranging techniques and getting better. And when it comes to my gear... no way! The whole point is having things with lights and knobs. The more, the better. I have ADHD, and I really relate to how you feel reading these comments. I don't need to be politically correct here: AI can come kick my ass. I still kick ass big time. My clients know it, and I get to keep them. And my studio is awesome. I can watch movies at night as well. Oh... for all of you thinking about becoming songwriters and planning to quit because of AI, do it. Please, quit! We'll get to keep a bigger slice of the cake.

[@AdamSliger]

Extremely correct take

[@heinrichsmit2]

I think people like human connection. Feeling heard and understood makes us not feel lonely. People also need accountability.

[@AdamSliger]

Facts

[@foljs5858]

"I think people like human connection" judging from the lack of socializing and the tendency to stay at home or endlessly doomscroll even when outside, maybe not so much these days.

[@heinrichsmit2]

​@@foljs5858 well then maybe that's something they need to deal with or get therapy. I wouldn't say it's healthy for people to be that way.

[@chrishaake8126]

Really needed to hear that trying to get out of a long time funk after a few years of nonstop musicmaking... just cant quite get into the rhythm I had going before. But why not do it anyway, its better to write some filler bullshit to get it out of the way than to not even try eventually consistency always seems to reward one way or another.

[@AdamSliger]

You’re so right. You got this!

[@coreyroberts47]

Ai can’t do anything unexpected by literal design. But the unexpected is what people want. If it’s too calculated it feels plastic. Julian’s voice strain on reptilia in the pre chorus makes it real, ai could replicate that technically, sure, but it’ll be a perfect mistake

[@RYTMIKEISARI]

I see AI mostly as a positive thing from creative side, Im waiting for full AI integration in DAWs. Imagine your choice of DAW with voice recognition system, so you can basically talk to your software for it to do all boring things you normally do with mouse and keyboard.

[@breakburrito]

I second this, but in practice think about how specific you would have to be in your voice commands to do the things you would normally do with your mouse and keyboard? Most editing functions will still be manual due to the precision needed, but there could some general functions that could be called by voice. We'll see.

[@HelenScheiderrr]

wow I guess my comment had too much giving up vibes, sorry, that was unintentional. I am actually doing music as a hobby for many years and not planning to give up any of this thank you for this video! you covered a lot and erased doubts I had previously. let's keep going and put more good stuff into the world 🔥

[@AdamSliger]

No worries!!! Glad you're going to keep creating, that's what really matters

[@legacyShredder1]

I'm not remotely worried about AI.

[@AdamSliger]

[@DrBuffaloBalls]

All the people lamenting about AI just really shows how little a lot of people believe in their own creative voice and abilities, and also how skewed their priorities are in regards to what motivates them. If money, fame, and accolades are the only things that drive you, then yeah, it is likely you will fail, because you're letting everyone else but you define the value that your skills and creativity have. Art is about expressing yourself, and AI is the antithesis of that. When your goal is self expression, AI can never replace you. Loving the process of creating art needs to be your core motivation, whether you're just working on your own stuff or seeking to help others make their creativity come to life. Potential clients will catch on to your vibe real quick if you're phoning it in just for the money, and not because you actually care about making good art. And if you'd manage to hit it big with music that doesn't really matter to you, wouldn't that just feel so awfully empty? Your take on all of this is a very healthy and constructive angle, and I appreciate you sharing it. Keep the good content coming.

[@AdamSliger]

Wow thanks for writing all this! I agree totally.

[@tasenova2717]

Under a abstract comparison. ChatGPT, is under major backlash for wanting a scarlet johansen voice feeling for their AI voice chatgpt-4. They now have lawsuits to deal with Scarlett herself and the court has to determine if this was fair use to get a similar voice actor and prove said voice actor's existence, if recognizing the imitation is against her brand and they are guilty. I think I now realize how necessary for everyone to cover themselves against liable damages, and the authentic worker is the easiest way vs an a.i. thanks for addressing it.

Im worried about making a livi g with music that i like to do (lofi, future bass, those tracks), if thats not possible i will always continue to make music but ngl with how good AI songs in these genres are i think it will affect the industry :(

[@AdamSliger]

I think there’s an option to carve out your own lane no matter how many AI songs there are

[@MaxFury_Official]

'A.I Love, love it or hate it, A.I Love, you are my A.I Love' That could be the lyrics of an upcoming uncomfortable cheese 80's ballad from Sweden's 'will be famous once dead' Max Fury! In all seriousness. A.I is such a double-edged sword. When the A.I does the music it's a bit weird. Everyone keeps whining about how it's just like a human now. No it's not, it's good, but it has a lot of small issues that say a producer can hear. What's scary is the regular people don't really care, and haven't for years. That's why all these autotune rappers with the wrong key setting in autotune (always makes me laugh, cause it sounds ass) is dominating the charts. People needs to start caring about music again! But i doubt it'll happen. Only if we producers force singers to sing. Ironically on my A.I love song i sing without autotune/melodyne. It's the first time in years i'm doing it. I wanted to force myself to get used to a natural sound 'again'. Nice Swedish flavour T-shirt btw!

There is not 800,000 songs uploaded to Spotify every day. There wasn’t even 120,000. I’d love to know where these people get their numbers from 😂. The reality is, it’s closer to 32000 songs per day. Still a lot but nowhere near 800,000 😂

Even if it were 10 billion a day volume isn’t the goal lol but yeah who knows or cares about the real number the point is the world is drowning in garbage music every day and adding volume to the bottom isn’t changing anything

I hate the use of AI as a crutch for anything, frankly. People who don't see the difference between a real artist and someone writing promps are psychopaths. Like you can look at AI art and think 'cool' but passing it off as having any humanity or unique style to it would be pretty cringe.

[@SRMoore1178]

Well, I still haven't heard an AI tune that made me want give it a second listen. Interesting? Sometimes. But totally forgettable. I don't think AI will replace good musicianship.

One of my motivating factors is to make music AI can’t or won’t. Trust me, there’s music these AI models will not touch with a 10ft pole because of lyrics that often are deemed: problematic. So become problematic 🤘
